## đź“ś Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
### Eliphaz’s Second Speech
[[#Verse 01.]]Â Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered:
[[#Verse 02.]] “Does a wise man answer with blustery knowledge,
or fill his belly with the east wind?
[[#Verse 03.]] Does he argue with useless talk,
with words that have no value in them?
[[#Verse 04.]] But you even break off piety,
and hinder meditation before God.
[[#Verse 05.]] Your sin inspires your mouth;
you choose the language of the crafty.
[[#Verse 06.]] Your own mouth condemns you, not I;
your own lips testify against you.
[[#Verse 07.]] “Were you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills?
[[#Verse 08.]] Do you listen in on God’s secret council? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
[[#Verse 09.]] What do you know that we don’t know?
What do you understand that we don’t understand?
[[#Verse 10.]] The gray-haired and the aged are on our side,
men far older than your father.
[[#Verse 11.]] Are God’s consolations too trivial for you,
or a word spoken in gentleness to you?
[[#Verse 12.]] Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash,
[[#Verse 13.]] when you turn your rage against God
and allow such words to escape from your mouth?
[[#Verse 14.]]Â What is man that he should be pure,
or one born of woman, that he should be righteous?
[[#Verse 15.]] If God places no trust in his holy ones,
if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes,
[[#Verse 16.]]Â how much less man, who is abominable and corrupt,
who drinks in evil like water!
[[#Verse 17.]] “I will explain to you; listen to me, and what I have seen, I will declare,
[[#Verse 18.]] what wise men declare, hiding nothing, from the tradition of their ancestors,
[[#Verse 19.]]Â to whom alone the land was given when no foreigner passed among them.
[[#Verse 20.]] All his days the wicked man suffers torment, throughout the number of the years that are stored up for the tyrant.
[[#Verse 21.]] Terrifying sounds fill his ears; in a time of peace marauders attack him.
[[#Verse 22.]] He does not expect to escape from darkness;
he is marked for the sword;
[[#Verse 23.]] he wanders about—food for vultures—
he knows that the day of darkness is at hand.
[[#Verse 24.]] Distress and anguish terrify him;
they prevail against him
like a king ready to launch an attack,
[[#Verse 25.]]Â for he stretches out his hand against God,
and vaunts himself against the Almighty,
[[#Verse 26.]]Â defiantly charging against him
with a thick, strong shield!
[[#Verse 27.]]Â Because he covered his face with fat,
and made his hips bulge with fat,
[[#Verse 28.]]Â he lived in ruined towns
and in houses where no one lives,
where they are ready to crumble into heaps.
[[#Verse 29.]]Â He will not grow rich,
and his wealth will not endure,
nor will his possessions spread over the land.
[[#Verse 30.]]Â He will not escape the darkness;
a flame will wither his shoots
and he will depart
by the breath of God’s mouth.
[[#Verse 31.]]Â Let him not trust in what is worthless,
deceiving himself;
for worthlessness will be his reward.
[[#Verse 32.]] Before his time he will be paid in full,
and his branches will not flourish.
[[#Verse 33.]]Â Like a vine he will let his sour grapes fall,
and like an olive tree
he will shed his blossoms.
[[#Verse 34.]]Â For the company of the godless is barren,
and fire consumes the tents of those who accept bribes.
[[#Verse 35.]] They conceive trouble and bring forth evil;
their belly prepares deception.”
